  supported platforms.
  Initial impact : High
  

Local fix

• Using the Update server command will solve the issue by updating
  the server password.
   ? Update server <server_name> SERVERPassword=<password>
  The following SQL statement could be used to identify which
  server(s) need this update :
  db2 "select adii.server_name from tsmdb1.server_connect_info
  adii left join tsmdb1.server_connect
  adcn on adii.server_name=adcn.server_name where adcn.password is
  not null and not exists (select 1
  from tsmdb1.sec_protected_items secpi where secpi.entity_type=6
  and secpi.item_type=1 and
  secpi.entity_id=adii.server_id)"
